I'm confused. Get better performance from an i7 but should have bought i5?
Agreed, the i7 gives more FPS in all the tests, so surely i7 is indeed the way to go?
Simple way to test guys, if you own an i7, disable ht in bios. And in some cases you may need to downclock a bit too. Effectively turns your i7 into an i5. Two chips in one, good value for money that.![]()
Had i bought an i5 instead of an i7 920 i would have had to upgrade a while ago. The extra threads are what gives my chip a longer life. Going i7 saves you money in the long run and i think what i paid back then over an i5 has been worth every extra penny.
What do you play that requires 8 thread on old ass 920.
